SOUTH OAK CLIFF HIGH SCHOOL

'South Oak Cliff High School' (colloquially referred to as 'SOC', pronounced "sock") is a public secondary school located in Dallas, Texas (USA). South Oak Cliff High School enrolls students in grades 9-12 and is a part of the Dallas Independent School District.
The school serves the area of Dallas known as "South Oak Cliff" (generally east of Interstate 35E and south of Illinois Avenue, though the area was never technically part of Oak Cliff). The school also has some students who live in the former Wilmer-Hutchins ISD boundaries. DISD began to take in WHISD-zoned students during the 2005-2006 school year. The entire Wilmer-Hutchins High School senior class attended South Oak Cliff.
According to the federal No Child Left Behind Act evaluation, the school "did not make adequate yearly progress" in 2004-2005. The state department of education identified this school as "in need of improvement, Year 1" for 2005-2006.
South Oak Cliff High School also made history by winning the UIL one act competition in the 2006-07 school year. This was the first time in South Oak Cliff's history this has happened

School uniforms

SOC has chosen to institute mandatory school uniforms consisting of white tops and khaki bottoms.
The Texas Education Agency specified that the parents and/or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy so their children do not have to wear the uniform [1]; parents must specify "bona fide" reasons, such as religious reasons or philosophical objections.
